Juneau’s Largest Food Pantry Serving 200 to 300 Individuals and Families Each Week
Open Tuesdays noon to 4:30. We are open all holidays.
Guiding Principle
: We believe in sharing the abundance God has provided by addressing physical, spiritual, and emotional hunger in our community. In line with the teachings of Jesus Christ: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,” and “…Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.” (Matthew 25:35, 40)
Vision: To nourish those in need in our community with the love of Jesus Christ, through food distribution, compassion, and building interpersonal connections.
Values
1. Every individual has the right to be free from hunger.
2. Every person deserves dignity and respect, irrespective of their background or situation.
3. Everyone possesses inherent value.
Mission
Our mission is to embody God’s love by providing both physical and spiritual nourishment to those in need in our community. By operating a clean and welcoming environment, we strive to meet the essential needs of the hungry and ensure that all individuals are treated with respect and compassion. Our goal is to fulfill the basic right to food and promote a sense of community, belonging, and hope.
Adoption Date: This mission statement was officially adopted by the volunteers of the RLC Food Pantry on March 3, 2024.
